So, should I use #0000FF or another shade of blue?
Whatever you have been using is fine, or you could use the same color as the Alfaerie pieces use, which is #5984BD.
I was thinking, in keeping with the row of figures across the bottom of the Light-themed logo, to make the pieces different colors (nothing outrageous; mainly ivory, tan, grey, muted red, that sort of thing that you might see in an actual chess set).
While the Darker scheme can be used on monitors, tablets, and phones, I designed it mainly for monochrome eink displays, and my Likebook Mars eink device renders red as black. So colors with mostly red will not work out well on that or similar devices. Since blue is used for the Alfaerie pieces and shows up well on my Likebook Mars, I figured it would be a good choice.
I figure to leave any resizing and cropping to your (probably more capable) hands.
I suppose if I resize it against a black background, it will look fine.
